About Fishing at Wysox Creek

Wysox Creek is a public river in Bradford County, Pennsylvania, managed by Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission. You can fish it on a Pennsylvania fishing licence (plus a Trout Permit for trout, a Lake Erie Permit for Erie waters). Pennsylvania has no general right of stream access — bank and wading access is at PFBC easements, state forest, park and game-land frontage and public bridges; away from those, the streambed may be private, so check current signage or ask permission. Public access confirmed via PFBC stocked-trout water.

A PFBC-stocked trout stream — part of the ~3.2 million adult trout stocked into 690+ Pennsylvania streams each spring; rainbow, brown and brook trout, with smallmouth bass in the warmer lower reaches. Many carry Delayed Harvest, Catch-and-Release or Keystone Select special regulations.

It runs roughly 8 miles through the Northeast PA (Poconos) region. Anglers here mostly fish for rainbow trout, brown trout, brook trout, smallmouth bass. The nearest other mapped waters on PiscaMaps are Lake Wesauking and Shores Pond.
